    Hi all,
    A few weeks ago I discovered how to raise the quarter windows while the roof is open (hold the roof latch sensor while pulling the window switch), and noticed that my quarter window on the right side was lower than all the other windows.

    When I just got the car I noticed that during hard rain sometimes a few drops get inside on the right quarter window.
    Today I decided to try to fix this:
    I opened up the roof an removed all the plastic covering on the right side. And the chrome rollbar and the belt guide as well.

    I removed a small covering piece of metal next to the window to be able to see the window mechanism.

    After some inspection and comparing both sides of the car it seems like the stop guide of the window on the right side was a bit lower than on the left.
    This was quite easy to adjust with just one bolt.

    After adjusting this was the result: 20210706_153026.jpg
    I hope this fixed the water drops on the inside of the window, let's see.

    (Sorry, for some reason I couldn't upload the photos directly. They seemed to be too large.)

    Well Don Robin28,
    A very good research and repair with very clear photos that I could easily zoom in on.
    Just the sort of info we all need to keep our little Copens on the go.

    Please do keep presenting any other of your repairs and fixes in similar clear detail.

    only question is how did you remove the panel behind the seat?
